Hi lovelies! Today I'm going to be sharing with you my favourites for this past month. This month is a mixture of all time favourites and some new products that I have just discovered. I love all the products mentioned here and if you haven't tried them yet, next time you go shopping i suggest you pick some of them up. I hope you enjoy!
To start off, my first and most favourite item of the month is my new perfume Prada Candy L'eau. The smell of this is amazing! Very elegant and mature, but still sweet. The description they give is, "A trinity of white musks, benzoin, and caramel is heightened by the presence of citrus and Oriental floral notes to create a vibrant ensemble." Basically, it's amazing and if you haven't smelled it yet, then you should! (30mL, $62.00)
Next, I have been loving the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin body lotion from Bath and Body Works. This body lotion is so smooth and leaves my skin feeling so soft. I like to apply this to my hands and elbows and it works so well. It doesn't leave a greasy residue which i appreciate and it also smells amazing! It is described as, "Sweet cinnamon pumpkin body lotion with shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin e." When I think of fall, this scent comes to mind. It is the perfect scent for this time of year! (88mL, 2.00)
Baby Lips! I'm sure you've all heard of these and how great they are but if you haven't then you better go get one right now! These are so moisturising and leave my lips feeling so soft and they are one of the only lip chaps that don't leave my lips feeling worse than when i put it on. I especially love this colour for fall! It is in the shade Grape Vine and it leaves a purple tint to your lips. This is such a nice way to incorporate the purple lip trend in a subtle way. ($5.99)
Good foundations are one of the hardest things for me to find, but this month i found a great one! Revlon Colorstay in the shade 110 Ivory has been the foundation i have been reaching for most this month. The colour is perfect for me (It's hard for me to match foundations with my ghostly skin ) and it also stays on all day. I have the normal/ dry version and it is perfect for my skin tone! ($14.99)
Along with foundation I have also been loving my Erase Paste concealer from Benefit. I feel the need to express that Benefit is one of my absolute favourite brands. The packaging, the cute names and the amazing quality of the products never cease to amaze me. This concealer especially is great at covering up dark circles under my eyes. My everyday makeup routine would not be the same without this product. It has such a creamy and thick consistency that completely erases all discolouration under my eyes! ($32.00)
For skincare my Lise Watier Very Soothing Cleansing Creme has been doing wonders for my skin. I have very dry skin that can sometimes get flaky. This cleanser keeps my skin moisturised while cleaning deep down into my pores. I feel like my skin is really clean after using this which I love. All i do is take a nickle sized amount on my fingers and rub it into my skin, then I take it off with a damp cotton pad followed by the rest of my skin care routine. This stuff is amazing and totally worth every penny! ($23.00)
My only hair care product is the Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil by Organix. I work this into the ends my hair after i get out of the shower and then blow dry my hair. My hair feels SO soft once it's blow dried after using this product. I only have a small size of this but I will definitely be buying a bigger one once I'm finished. If your hair has been feeling dull this oil will bring it back to life. ($10.99 in a kit with mini shampoo and conditioner too.)
Finally, this blush has been a favourite of mine ever since i bought it in May. This is the Coralista blush by Benefit. This is the most gorgeous coral colour perfect for any season! It has a slight shimmer to it, but nothing too noticeable. It lasts all day, looks great on any colour skin and I can't rave enough about it. ($36.00)
I hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites for September! Leave me comments below on your opinions of these products or what you think of my blog. Thank you so much for reading.

Introduction
To start off my first blog post I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Andrea and I am living in a small city in Canada. I First realized my love for makeup at the age of 11 when I put it on for my dance recital. I remember my mom dolled me up with foundation, eyeliner and bright red lipstick and I couldn't have been happier. I felt like an adult and that I could conquer anything. She also put waterproof mascara on me, which didn't end up coming off for a few days. I felt SO unbelievably cool the next day at school when all of my friends would ask, "Are you wearing makeup?" "Why yes, I am." I would say in a way that probably sounded snobby and overly confident considering I only had tiny remains of mascara on. The way that having makeup on made me feel was incredible, like a new person, and ever since that day in grade 6, I started wearing some.
What brought me here, starting my blog is YouTube. Last summer I started watching beauty videos and I've learned many useful tips, and I have grown to love the beauty community. That is what encouraged me to start my own blog. I want to share everything from makeup reviews, clothing hauls, outfit of the days and my favorite recipes.
I hope you enjoy what is about to come. I would love any advice and comments you have!
